Edgar (22-5-1) is on a two fight win streak with wins over Yair Rodriguez and Jeremy Stephens. The 35-year-old faced former featherweight champion Jose Aldo at UFC 200 last July. Edgar lost via unanimous decision, making Aldo the interim champion. Edgar’s first shot at the 145-pound strap was in his featherweight debut in February of 2013, when Aldo was the reigning champion.

Holloway (18-3) unified the featherweight strap at UFC 212 in June, where he defeated Aldo via TKO in the third round. The 25-year-old has been on a tear through the division since 2013, where he was last defeated by Conor McGregor at UFC Fight Night: Shogun vs. Sonnen.
